[QUOTE="stev1904, post: 41615"] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Paint only becomes a problem for Tiling on, when it has been penetrated by water. Emulsion and Silk are both water based which means it will eventually soften and peal. This can be seen in any partially tiled shower/bath room were the steam has affected the skin of the paint. This is why you get flaky paint and condesation a foot or so up from the shower tray, top of bath, condensation areas around the toilet cistern and windows, internal corners and where the wall meets the ceiling. The integrity of the paint is also lost if it is not prepped properly before the next coat, i.e. sanding down, primed or undercoat. In which case the adhesion of the tiles on the wall, will most certainly be affected.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I’ve used steam strippers once or twice in the past to get to the wall surface, when I’ve had time for it to dry that is. Other than that a sharp scraper and/or a wire brush does.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT='Times New Roman']Hope this helps[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
